Excerpt from the Daily Mail:New York Times bestselling author Jerry Oppenheimer, who recently published RFK Jr.: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and the Dark Side of the Dream, investigated the Clintons in his book State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
She was a pretty 21-year-old political science major, and he was a 27-year-old law school graduate embarking on his first political campaign. They instantly fell for each other. But when the other woman in his life learned of their affair, things turned frighteningly ugly.
It may sound like the story line for a juicy TV miniseries, but it was real-life. The characters in the drama were a young Bill Clinton, his then longtime girlfriend, Hillary Rodham, and a college girl by the name of Marla Crider.

Marla Crider

Before her death last year, Crider sat down for an explosive interview that revealed the perverse lengths Hillary would go to ensure that her political ambitions for herself and her husband-to-be would be realized.
The Clinton-Rodham-Crider triangle is important in the Clinton biography because it underscores and documents the first time Bill cheated on Hillary — even before they were married, but seriously involved.
Driven and ambitious, Hillary did every catty thing to break up the relationship and keep Bill for herself, based not on love, as Marla Crider perceived it back then in 1974 Arkansas, but rather on a ‘secret pact’ that Bill and Hillary had forged for their future – that they’d work together as a disciplined team so that one day he, and hopefully later she, would be elected president.
Long before the so-called Clinton ‘bimbo eruptions,’ long before the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal, Bill Clinton had, behind Hillary’s back, a serious affair with pretty Arkansas brunette Marla, who was working in his first political campaign.
In a radio interview with broadcaster Aaron Klein, Monica Lewinsky confidant Linda Tripp revealed that Bill had flings with thousands of women, including another White House Staffer and, of course, Gennifer Flowers. Bill has also had sexual assault charges leveled at him by Kathleen Willey and Paul Jones, who won an $850,000 lawsuit against him for sexual harassment.
Now the Clintons fear – and justifiably so – that Bill’s relationship with Marla, along with the other women in his life, will be used as fodder against Hillary in the race for the White House.
Slender, olive-skinned, green-eyed Marla Crider’s relationship with Bill flew under the radar until it was revealed in my New York Times bestselling book, ‘State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton,’ published following Clinton’s impeachment by the House of Representatives, and acquittal by the Senate.
A native of Bill Clinton’s home state, Arkansas, Marla was a sharply intelligent college girl majoring in political science at the University of Arkansas when, in 1974, she joined charismatic, idealistic and seemingly unattached Bill Clinton’s first political campaign. The recent law school graduate was running for the state’s Third Congressional District seat against a popular Republican who had been in office seemingly forever.

Bill still a virtual “babe magnet” after all these years.

Everywhere Bill campaigned, there were women, groupies, drawn to him like ants to a picnic. Bill Clinton was a virtual babe magnet, and it was clear to his campaign manager, Paul Fray, and campaign office workers that he took advantage of the situation.
‘They’d [women] write down their names, their phone numbers, their addresses on a napkin, whatever was handy, and hand it to him,’ one campaign source recalled.And while he was getting all that action, his girlfriend Hillary was hundreds of miles away in Washington, D.C. working for the Watergate Committee.
But of all the Arkansas cuties who let Bill know they were available, he chose Marla Crider, with her intriguing looks and long dark hair. The first time they met, she later recalled in interviews for my book, it was practically love at first sight. She was so impressed with him that, ‘I told my mother that night, “Bill Clinton will someday be president.” I just instinctively felt like the sky was the limit for him.’A number of books about the Clintons before mine had mentioned a ‘college girl’ who was romantically involved with Clinton during his first campaign, and had to be hidden whenever Hillary showed up. But no one had ever found her.
As she later noted to my researcher who tracked her down: ‘In 25 years I’ve never talked about this.’ But she finally decided to open up.
She said she knew that Hillary Rodham, then working in Washington for the Watergate committee, was Bill’s girlfriend, and had asked him ‘point-blank if he were engaged to her yet.’ Bill said no, noting, ‘If she chose to come back, I would probably pursue the relationship. But we’re not engaged.’ Marla said she believed him. She considered him hers.
But when she later asked him about Hillary she got quite a different response. ‘You and Hillary, what’s the deal? Are you in love with her?’ ‘Yeah, I am,’ he responded. ‘But I don’t know if this is right. …I don’t know if she can fit in here.’
‘What is it about her?’ Marla asked. Bill’s response surprised her. ‘She gets me started, kicks my butt, and makes me do the things I’ve got to do.’
To Marla it sounded more like Bill was discussing a tough Marine Corps drill instructor rather than a woman with whom he claimed he was in love with. ‘Are you going to build a marriage off of this?’ Marla asked dubiously.
Hillary had become aware of the romance – presumably from intelligence gathered from people she knew in the campaign. And she saw Marla as genuine threat to her future with Bill. Her claws were out and a number of a confrontations followed. Hillary made surprise visits to Bill’s campaign headquarters, in one instance causing Bill to cancel an overnight trip with Marla.
That night at headquarters Marla was drinking a glass of wine. Hillary, she recalled, ‘Strolls up to me, takes the glass of wine out of my hand, says, ‘Hmmm, wine’ – takes a drink of it, gives it back to me and says, staring me down, “I’ll have to get some of that.”
‘It was her way of letting me know – like a cat – marking its territory. Everybody in there just turned and looked, like what the hell was that all about? And Hillary just had this kind of half smirk on her face and she strolled off.‘

Hypocrite: apersonwhopretendstohavevirtues,moralorreligiousbeliefs,principles,etc.,thatheorshedoesnotactuallypossess,especiallyapersonwhoseactionsbeliestatedbeliefs.People: Monica Lewinsky is fighting to stop bullying, and showing others how they can, too. Lewinsky, 42, strategic advisor and ambassador for Bystander Revolution, is teaming up with celebrities like Olivia Wilde, Salma Hayek, Lily Collins, Michael J. Fox, Rashida Jones, Jamie Lee Curtis and Alan Cumming to launch #MonthOfAction, featured exclusively in PEOPLE.
“Bystander Revolutions’s focus is on the right now,” Lewinsky told PEOPLE. “Simple, practical actions that each of us can do right away to relieve suffering and shift the culture.”
Throughout October, Bystander Revolution will pose daily anti-bullying challenges and actions on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr, as well as by email and text for those who sign up on the organization’s website.
“I am thrilled to be a part of launching Month of Action,” Monica Lewinsky tells PEOPLE in a statement. “Engaging in the daily challenges will help transform our online world into a safer and more compassionate space for everyone. Even just one action is a step in the right direction towards ending bullying and can save a life.”
Lewinsky has talked openly about the bullying she suffered nearly two decades ago. She has called herself “patient zero,” the first private person to publicly lose her reputation internationally.
“I was branded as a tart, slut, whore, bimbo, floozy and of course ‘that woman,’ I was seen by many but truly known by few … It was hard to remember ‘that woman’ had a soul and was once unbroken,” she said in June. “In 1998 I lost my reputation and my dignity, I lost almost everything, and I almost lost my life.”
Lewinsky was inspired to break her silence by Tyler Clementi, the 18-year-old Rutgers student who committed suicide in 2010 after he was bullied for being gay. His death brought back her own suicidal feelings from the Clinton scandal, and “my own suffering took on a different meaning,” she wrote in Vanity Fair last year. “Perhaps by sharing my story, I reasoned, I might be able to help others in their darkest moments of humiliation. The question became: How do I find and give a purpose to my past?”You want to talk about BULLYING? Let’s take a look at what Olivia Wilde has said in the past, shall we?
Feb. 9, 2010 Oliva tweeted this: “Sarah Palin is A F-ing Retard”
In 2010 Ms. Wilde teamed up with MoveOn to inspire voter turnout with a terrifying vision of “ultrawar,” instigated by President Sarah Palin. Of her video, Ms. Wilde said, “I know I stick my neck out there. I have a voice, I believe in what I say and I know what I’m talking about. You don’t have to listen to me.“
Some of her most recent tweets (which are oh so compassionate):
Sept. 22, 2015: “Douche. “@doctorow: That douchebag pharma-bro hedge fund guy reversed the medicine price hike”
Sept. 16, 2015: “Just dangle this piñata from the big toy plane and let these kids go at it!#GOPDebate#itsfullofbolognameat” (with above picture)
March 31, 2015: (Retweet) “Funny Or Die ‏@funnyordieMar 31How to send a penis cake to the homophobic governor of Indiana” (with above picture)
Jan. 31, 2015: (Retweet) “Jim Field Smith ‏@jimfieldsmithJan 30To be honest, any religious organisation which believes in immaculate conception shouldn’t be allowed to pass judgment on reproduction.”
Monica Lewinsky sure knows how to pick ’em!

At the Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Summit, Monica Lewinsky stated, “My life was ruined by Drudge”. Poor thing suffered so much at the hand of media, she’s now putting her “shame” to good use:Lewinsky makes emotional plea to end cyberbullyingCNN: Monica Lewinsky told an audience in Philadelphia on Monday that her new mission in life was to end cyberbullying. Her speech — and her goal — come as the former White House intern steps into the public eye after years of trying to live privately.

“Having survived myself, what I want to do now is help other victims of the shame game survive, too,” she told the audience at Forbes’ 30 Under 30 summit. “I want to put my suffering to good use and give purpose to my past.”

Lewinsky, who as an intern in 1995 had an affair with President Bill Clinton, said she was “patient zero” of online harassment.

“There was no Facebook, Twitter or Instagram back then,” she said. “But there were gossip, news and entertainment websites replete with comment sections and emails which could be forwarded. Of course, it was all done on the excruciatingly slow dial up. Yet around the world this story went. A viral phenomenon that, you could argue, was the first moment of truly ‘social media’.”

Lewinsky became emotional when describing the months after her 1998 scandal with the president, when national attention was fixed on her. “Staring at the computer screen, I spent the day shouting: ‘oh my God!’ and ‘I can’t believe they put that in’ or ‘That’s so out of context,'” she said. “And those were the only thoughts that interrupted a relentless mantra in my head: ‘I want to die.'”

Lewinsky also recapped her affair with Clinton.

“Sixteen years ago, fresh out of college, a 22 year old intern in the White House — and more than averagely romantic — I fell in love with my boss in a 22-year old sort of way. It happens,” Lewinsky said. “But my boss was the president of the United States. That probably happens less often. Now I deeply regret it for many reasons, not the least of which is that people were hurt. And that is never okay.”

The former White House intern — who since has received a masters from the London School of Economics and tried her hand as a purse designer — said the affair was “my everything.”

Lewinsky, however, struck a resilient tone, according to Forbes, and focused on what she wants to do going forward: End cyberbullying. The former White House intern has said in past interviews and essays that she feels a connection with people who have been caught up in online scandals that forever changed their lives.

In a May Vanity Fair piece, where she discussed life after her affair with Clinton, Lewinsky cited the 2010 Tyler Clementi case as the reason she was going public with her cause. Clementi was a freshman at Rutgers who committed suicide after his roommate secretly used a webcam to stream his sexual encounter.

“My own suffering took on a different meaning,” Lewinsky wrote about her reaction to the Clementi case. “Perhaps by sharing my story, I reasoned, I might be able to help others in their darkest moments of humiliation. The question became: How do I find and give a purpose to my past?”

In the piece, Lewinsky said her new goal was to “get involved with efforts on behalf of victims of online humiliation and harassment and to start speaking on this topic in public forums.”

Here’s another Hollyweirdo to shun:

Liv Tyler, 37, the low-information daughter of aging rocker Steven Tyler, who played “Arwen” in Lord of the Rings and is currently starring in the new HBO TV series The Leftover.
Helen Zhao reports for the Daily Mail, July 7, 2014, that “Rumour has it that Hillary Clinton is running for president in 2016. And Liv Tyler is making it clear that she’s all for it, pictured in a ‘Hillary For President’ T-shirt in a new Violet Grey fashion shoot.”
Tyler also pontificated on the importance of inner beauty: “There’s no cream that can fix you if you’re not beautiful on the inside.”
Hey, Liv, since “inner beauty” is so important to you, you really should use the few brain cells in your empty head to learn about Hillary:

How she callously dismissed the Obama regime’s lies about a video being the provocation for jihadists’ attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, with the words “What difference does it make?”

How she, as Secretary of State, abandoned Ambassador Chris Stevens and State Department information officer Sean Smith, as well as ex-Navy Seals Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods to die in Benghazi.

How she, who fancies herself a feminist, blames the woman Monica Lewinsky instead of her husband for their tawdry extramarital affair, referring to Lewinsky as “a narcissistic loony toon.”

She aped her husband’s word-parsing insistence that he didn’t actually “have sex with that woman,” as if oral sex isn’t sex. There’s also that cigar that good ol’ Bill stuck up Monica’s other orifice.

She excused her husband’s infidelities by attributing them to his difficult childhood, and contemptuously dismissed Monica Lewinsky as a “narcissistic loony toon” and women who complain about being sexually harassed by male politicians as “those whiny women.”

She is disdainful of the press, calling journalists people with “big egos” but “no brains.”

After she’d left the White House she said in a 2005 speech to the United Nations that she favored earlier intervention in the Balkans, and decried “the tragic failures in Rwanda, early Bosnia, and up to now, the inadequate response in Darfur.” At the time, however, in 1993, she was very much against any intervention in Bosnia and dismissed the atrocities there with “they had been killing each other for 900 yrs.”

And despite her public denials, in private she stated her belief in a “single payer” (i.e., national/government) health care system for America.

None of the above should be a surprise to us about Hillary Clinton.

Alana Goodman writes for The Washington Free Beacon, Feb. 9, 2014, that all this and more are revealed in the papers of Hillary’s closest friend Diane Blair, now open to the public for the first time.

On May 12, 1992, Stan Greenberg and Celinda Lake, top pollsters for Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign, issued a confidential memo. The memo’s subject was “Research on Hillary Clinton.”

Votersadmired the strength of the Arkansas first couple, the pollsters wrote. However, “they also fear that only someone too politically ambitious, too strong, and too ruthless could survive such controversy so well.”

The full memo is one of many previously unpublished documents contained in the archive of one of Hillary Clinton’s best friends and advisers, documents that portray the former first lady, secretary of State, and potential 2016 presidential candidate as a strong, ambitious, and ruthless Democratic operative.

The papers of Diane Blair, a political science professor Hillary Clinton described as her “closest friend” before Blair’s death in 2000, record years of candid conversations with the Clintons on issues ranging from single-payer health care to Monica Lewinsky.

The archive includes correspondence, diaries, interviews, strategy memos, and contemporaneous accounts of conversations with the Clintons ranging from the mid-1970s to the turn of the millennium.

Diane Blair’s husband, Jim Blair, a former chief counsel at Tyson Foods Inc. who was at the center of “Cattlegate,” a 1994 controversy involving the unusually large returns Hillary Clinton made while trading cattle futures contracts in the 1970s, donated his wife’s papers to the University of Arkansas Special Collections library in Fayetteville after her death.

The full contents of the archive, which before 2010 was closed to the public, have not previously been reported on and shed new light on Clinton’s three decades in public life. The records paint a complex portrait of Hillary Clinton, revealing her to be a loyal friend, devoted mother, and a cutthroat strategist who relished revenge against her adversaries and complained in private that nobody in the White House was “tough and mean enough.”

In 1995, a 49-year-old married man and a 22-year-old single woman began a sexual affair in the most powerful room in the world.
The affair was tawdry, involving fellatio, cigar-penetration, anal sex (a little-publicized and little-known fact that is gleaned only if you’ve read the entirety of the Ken Starr Report because that little detail is buried in a footnote), but no vaginal intercourse. You see, the man, being trained in legalistic language-parsing and a narcissist to boot, is skilled in self- and other-deception, rationalizing that the absence of vaginal intercourse meant there was no “sex”.
16 years later, now a silver-maned 65-year-old, the man is still married, his reputation completely recovered, and is lionized as an elder statesman and globe-trotting speaker. He is active in public life, giving speeches, fundraising, and founding charitable organizations, and has spoken at the last six Democratic National Conventions.
The young woman in that scandal of so many years ago never married or even had a long-term love relationship, is now middle-aged and socially shunned.

The man, of course, is former President Bill Clinton, and the woman is Monica Lewinsky.
Sarah Cordes reports, Sept. 9, 2011, for the National Enquirer — the tabloid that was nominated for a Pulitzer because it alone uncovered former Democrat senator and VP candidate John Edwards’ adultery and “love child” — that Lewinsky is living the sad, lonely life of a near-recluse as she struggles to make ends meet, bouncing from New York to Los Ange­les, crashing with family and desperately trying to live down her scandalous past.
An “insider” told the Enquirer, “Monica’s self-esteem is at an all-time low. She’s given up her own place, and her handbag line crashed. Now she drifts between the two coasts and toys with ‘projects’ that probably will never get off the ground. She’s alone most of the time and is pretty much a social pariah. She’s given up on ever finding love – and doesn’t even have friends. Monica still feels like she’s the punch line to a dirty joke.”
In late June, the former White House in­tern made a rare outing as part of a small dinner partyat Lucy’s El Adobe Cafe in Hollywood – where gawkers at other tables let fly with wisecracks.
Let this be a cautionary tale for young women tempted to commit adultery with a married man. It will cost you way more than it’ll cost him. The world is a cruel place where gender and power rule.~Eowyn

The teacher said, “Let’s begin by reviewing some American History. Who said ‘Give me Liberty , or give me Death’?” She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Johnny a bright Navajo Indian boy, who had his hand up: ‘Patrick Henry, 1775′ he said. ‘Very good!’Who said, ‘Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?’ Again, no response except from Little Johnny, ‘Abraham Lincoln, 1863′. The teacher snapped at the class, ‘Class, you should be ashamed, Little Johnny knows more about history than you do.’ She heard a loud whisper: ‘Screw the Indians,’ ‘Who said that?’ she demanded. Little Johnny put his hand up, ‘General Custer, 1862.‘At that point, a student in the back said, ‘I’m gonna puke.’ The teacher glares around and asks, ‘All right!! Now who said that!?’ Again, Little Johnny says, ‘George Bush, to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.’ Now furious, another student yells, ‘Oh yeah? Suck this!’Little Johnny jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, ‘Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997! Now with almost mob hysteria someone said ‘You little shit. If you say anything else, I’ll kill you.’ Little Johnny frantically yells at the top of his voice, ‘Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.’ The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, ‘Oh shit, We’re screwed!’ Little Johnny said quietly, “The American people, November 4, 2008.” ~Steve~ H/T Joseph

She was 22; he was 49.
She was single; he was married.
He was the most powerful man in the world; she was a lowly but flirtatious intern.
She fellated him in the office, while he diddled her with a cigar. But none of that was really sex, because one has to define what “is” is.
When the scandal broke open, whatever reputation she had was ruined, her name became a synonym for fellatio. He went on national TV, his voice the usual honeyed sincerity and his face red with faux outrage, to vehemently deny he ever “had sex with that woman.” Then, still denying, he committed perjury.
15 years later, still married, he is now the distinguished eminence grise, his sordid affair forgotten by his countrymen. But she is single and still pines for him, still believing that he too still pines for her.
Some women are just that way. It’s called stupidity.
H/t beloved fellow Tina.~Eowyn‘I’m still in love with Bill’: Friends say why Monica Lewinsky has never got married or had kids
By Daily Mail Reporter – March 10, 2011
The scandal almost destroyed his career and left his presidency permanently tainted. But 15 years on, Bill Clinton’s former intern Monica Lewinsky has not got married or had children because she is reportedly still in love with him and ‘always will be’.
Miss Lewinsky, 37, has run a successful business, hosted a reality television show and moved overseas – but has never found love, according to friends.
‘Monica still hasn’t got over Bill and would take him back in a second,’ a friend said. ‘She told me: “There will never be another man in my life that could make me as happy as he did”,’ the friend told the National Enquirer magazine. ‘Monica still carries a torch for him. She’s dated some guys, off and on, since the whole White House mess. But she’s never been able to get Bill out of her heart’.
Miss Lewinsky was aged 22 in 1995 when she began working in the White House and had an affair with President Clinton, which he famously denied at first.

Monica at 37

She now lives in Los Angeles, California, and does not have regular employment, reported the National Enquirer.
She has previously designed handbags and been a pitch woman for Jenny Craig. She also participated in a book, written with Andrew Morton, called Monica’s Story, for which she earned a reported $500,000. In 2006 she earned a master’s degree in social psychology from the London School of Economics, having shut her handbag line and temporarily moved to England.
Mr Clinton was impeached by Republicans in 1998, who tried to throw him out of office. But his wife Hilary said in 2007 that their marriage was ‘worth the investment’.
Miss Lewinsky said her relationship with the president involved her performing sexual acts on him – but not sexual intercourse. She famously kept a blue dress which she claimed held DNA evidence of their affair.
After allegations began to emerge, President Clinton wagged his finger and sternly told a national television audience he did not have sex with ‘that woman’. But seven months later in 1998 he admitted he lied, wanting to protect himself and his family from embarrassment. Mr. Clinton admitted he had an ‘inappropriate relationship’ with her.
When Clinton’s memoir My Life came out in 2004, Miss Lewinsky spoke of her upset at its contents to the Daily Mail, saying rather than being a physical fling, it was a mutual relationship. ‘He could have made it right with the book, but he hasn’t. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied. I really didn’t expect him to go into detail about our relationship’, she added. ‘But if he had and he’d done it honestly, I wouldn’t have minded.’
She believed he made it sound like the dalliance came only at her initiative and was purely physical. ‘He talked about it as though I had laid it all out there for the taking. I was the buffet and he just couldn’t resist the dessert.’
Clinton wrote that his affair with Lewinsky revealed ‘the darkest part of my inner life’ and led to his temporary banishment from the White House bedroom. He said on CBS’ 60 Minutes that he became involved with Lewinsky ‘for the worst possible reason. Just because I could.’
But according to Lewinsky at the time, ‘That’s not how it was. This was a mutual relationship, mutual on all levels, right from the way it started and all the way through.’
